Pesto pasta is one of our favorite pasta dishes, so it’s no small surprise we like to make it as much as possible, tweaking it here and there to keep things interesting.

Here, we used some store-bought pesto (feel free to make your own, since it’s so easy!) and used frozen peas and some avocado to turn it into a creamy, fresh sauce that coats the pasta perfectly. Paired with some grilled chicken for a little extra “oomph”, this recipe gets an A+ in our book. It fills you up, yet still feels light and refreshing, making it perfect for eating outside on warm nights, or for throwing together when you have friends over. After trying it this way, we’ll definitely be making our pesto like this from now on, it’s that good!
